Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is very excited to offer to you this absolutely
stunning 1968 Chevrollet C-10 stepside! This Chevy is loaded with
options and upgrades all wrapped in a gorgeous green package.
Originally a dark green truck, it now wears a slick glossy coat of
light green paint that is so nice that we would call it
show-quality (a term we don't use loosely around here). The front
end of the truck features a brilliant chrome bumper, a like-new
grille, and gleaming headlight bezels that match the standard set
by the beautiful paint job. Bright elements like the window trim,
dual side mirrors, and door handles really pop against the green
background. The gas tank has been relocated under the bed and where
the original fill was at the back corner of the cab is now a
decorative chrome "faux" cap . At the rear of the cab you'll notice
that the standard window has been upgraded to a 4-panel slider rear
window from CR Laurence. The bed floor has been outfitted with
beautiful new wood and a new gas fill has been positioned on the
floor towards the rear. The tailgate has hook closures with
plastic-wrapped chains and it is flanked by a new set of tail
lights. The rear bumper has the same perfect mirror finish as the
one up front. The head-turning exterior is taken to a whole new
level with a lowered stance courtesy of CPP lowering springs and
drop spindles. The stance is perfectly accented by a set of bright
chrome US Mags wheels wrapped in newer Venezia Crusade HP
tires.
Lift the hood to find an exceptionally clean and organized engine
bay that's sure to get your blood pumping! At the heart is an
era-correct 396ci V-8 dressed in a fresh coat of Chevy orange
paint. This big block is topped with chrome valve covers, a
4-barrel Holley carburetor, and a chrome air cleaner with 396
call-outs. At the front of the engine is a new serpentine belt
system, a power-steering unit, and a new compressor for the Vintage
Air system. Not only does this C10 have the Vintage A/C system, but
the lines have been tucked and hidden to allow for a clean,
smoothed firewall - a very cool look! Keeping things cool up front
is a new aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and a chrome
overflow cannister. Exhaust flows through new Patriot headers, new
pipes, and new Magnaflow mufflers to give this truck just the right
amount of pleasing rumble at the rear. Stopping power is provided
by a CPP front and rear power disc brake conversion - yet another
great upgrade. The big V-8 is mated to a 4-speed manual
transmission that puts the power down via a 12-bolt rear end. It is
obvious wherever you look under the hood that this is a very well
thought out, fresh, high-quality build!
Top-notch quality and upgrades continue inside the cab with an
eye-pleasing and comfortable black interior. The black door panels
are in like-new condition and appear OEM correct. A bright chrome
sill plate leads you inside to a very nice black vinyl bench seat
accented with a filigree pattern that adds to the cool factor. The
green painted dash is topped with a crack-free black vinyl pad and
features new Classic Instruments gauges (speedometer, tachometer,
clock, fuel, volts, temp, and oil) set in a black bezel. In the
center of the dash are controls for the Vintage Air system that
provides ice-cold A/C and hot heat with an incredibly strong fan.
There is a Retrosound-style stereo in the dash that powers up, but
is inoperative. The actual working stereo is a Memphis AM/FM/BT
unit mounted inside the glovebox that plays through Phoenix Gold
speakers in the kick panels and Pioneer speakers in the rear
corners. Also in the glovebox, on the back of the door, is the
original Service Parts Identification sticker - a great unexpected
extra. Ahead of the driver is a green 3-spoke OEM steering wheel
with working horn on a green tilt column. Rising from the floor is
a Hurst dog-leg shifter with a white pattern ball for the 4-speed
transmission. The floor is covered with high-quality black hook
loop carpet kept nice with black rubber floormats.
If you're on the hunt for a 67-72 era C-10, you're sure to be
stopped in your tracks by this over-the-top 68 stepside! This
high-quality build really checks all the boxes - beautiful slick
paint, new wood bed, perfect stance, eye-catching wheels tires,
gleaming brightwork, era-correct 396 big block, 4-speed manual with
a Hurst shifter, new exhaust with headers, Vintage Air, 4-wheel
disc brake conversion, comfortable interior, and a modern stereo!
This truck is ready to hop in, turn the key, and start enjoying
today!
